Devin Museum
A comically gruff reception awaits visitors at the little Devin Museum, which exhibits Rodopi folk arts and crafts, ancient and medieval coins, and colourful minerals from local mountains. Prominently positioned reproductions of salacious 19th-century paintings depict wicked Turks whipping Bulgarian women, hurling Bulgarians babies and carrying off slaves. The roomful of traditional implements and machinery, however, is quite interesting, and also displays the gayda (Balkan bagpipe) of Bai Mihail. In winter the museum operates only in afternoons.

Church of Sveti Duh
The belltower of the Church of Sveti Duh, built in 1937, tolls out the hours from high over the houses of Devin. It's not particularly traditional, but contains many icons and a wood-burning stove.
